Academy Award Nominees just have such a swell time, and not just at the ceremony itself. In addition to the awards and its myriad of after parties, there's also a Pre-Oscars shindig the night prior and, as it turns out, this here luncheon.
So here we have Natalie Portman, Amy Adams and her smidge of cleav, Javier Bardem, James Franco's winning smile;Jesse Eisenberg; Annette Bening and Warren Beatty; Nicole Kidman; Jennifer Lawrence; Jeremy Renner; Michelle Williams; Colin Firth; Geoffrey Rush; President and Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company Robert A. Iger; Hailee Steinfeld; Mark Wahlberg; Darren Aronofsky; Helena Bonham Carter; Jeff Bridges; Melissa Leo; Mark Ruffalo and a few others.
Who's yer man, you say? Given the abundance of photos including him, and the lack of name check in WENN, I'd like to think he's a competition winner, or a particularly cunning autograph hunter who managed to infiltrate the reception by saying he was someone's accountant "with urgent news", or Natalie Portman's obstetrician. As it turns out, he's Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak. Who looks like quite the conversationalist.
